    Notes: Abstract  The influence on the nutrients content (soluble sugars, starch, dietary fibre and calcium) and antinutritional factors (α-galactosides and phytic acid) of faba beans (Vicia faba, L. major) of soaking in different solutions (distilled water, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate solutions), cooking the presoaked seeds, dry-heating and germination have been studied. Soaking brought about a decrease in starch, sucrose, fructose, α-galactoside, dietary fibre and calcium content. Glucose was detected in soaked faba beans and soaking did not modify the phytic acid content. Cooking the presoaked faba beans produced a slight decrease in starch, and caused a general drop in α-galactosides, dietary fibre, calcium and phytic acid, with the exception of seeds presoaked in sodium bicarbonate in which cooking did not cause any appreciable changes in comparison with the unprocessed faba beans. Germination caused a sharp reduction in α-galactoside and phytic acid content after 6 days, whilst starch and dietary fibre decreased slightly. Calcium, however, enjoyed a slight increment during germination which was related to the decrease in the content of hemicellulose and phytic acid. Dry-heating caused a noticeable reduction in all the nutrients and antinutritional factors investigated. Of all the treatments studied, germination appears to be the best processing method to obtain nutritive faba bean flour, since it caused a minor decrease in starch content (15% loss), the largest α-galactoside and phytic acid removal (94% and 45%, respectively) and provided an appreciable amount of dietary fibre.

    Notes: Abstract  The changes in the quantities of inositol phosphates during the maturation and germination of pea, faba bean and lupin seeds were determined in two consecutive (1993 and 1994) years of differing weather conditions. Irrespective of the year, all seeds accumulated predominantly inositol hexaphosphate (IP6). The weather conditions influenced the accumulation of inositol phosphates in maturing seeds, but they did not influence the total content. Gradual degradation of inositol phosphates occurred during seed germination. After 8 days of germination, IP6 was degraded by some 80% in peas, 78% in faba beans and 42% in lupin seeds. The enzymic hydrolysis of higher forms of inositol phosphates (IP6 and IP5) in germinating seeds was assumed to yield inositol tetraphosphate (IP4) and inositol triphosphate (IP3), because the quantities of these compounds increased during seed germination.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of light and seed rinsing during the germination of lentil seeds (Lens culinaris var. vulgaris, cultivar Magda-20) on the level of monosaccharides, disaccharides and α-galactosides (raffinose, ciceritol and stachyose) was investigated. The total soluble sugar content corresponded to about 9% of the mature seed weight, about 65% of which was α-galactosides. Germination brought about a large decrease in α-galactosides: 18% to 40% losses after 3 days and 100% after 6 days. However, glucose, which was not detected in ungerminated seeds, as well as fructose and sucrose gradually increased during germination. The content of α-galactosides decreased more rapidly when germinating seeds were given 6 h light per day, but under these conditions there was also a major reduction in the levels of fructose, glucose and sucrose. Seeds rinsed daily showed a greater reduction of α-galactosides and an increase in the levels of fructose, glucose and sucrose. When seeds were germinated for 10 days in the dark with daily rinsing, the content of α-galactosides decreased gradually during the first 4 days and they were not detected after 6 days. Under these conditions, fructose, glucose and sucrose, which represented about 3% of the mature seed weight, started increasing after day 2 and represented more than 13% of the germinated seed dry weight after 10 days.
